Reform Clubs and the Third Party.

A. X. 7. Buffum, the temperance war
horse, in conversation with a journal man,
Yesterday said that an erroneous report con-
cerning the Reform Club membership in the
State had appeared in the Portland Press
In substance it is that Col. Eustis the nomi
nee of the third party for official positions by
his connection with politics. had so offended
many reformers who were associated with
him in the Reform Club movement that they
had withdrawn from the organization. This,
Mr.. Buffum claims to be false, for in the
first place Col. Eustis has been extremely
careful not to confound his politics with the
interests of the order and second, the mem
bership of the Reform Clubs has decreased
by the uniting of clubs with lodges of |. o.
G. f., in many places, where the two could
not be separately sustained.
The recent convention Of Reform Clubs
at Gardiner passed resolution affirm
ing that Col. Eustis' position had
not been such as to produce the decrease Of
the membership of the organization and ex-
honoratng him from the charge. The mat
ter seems to have created considerable indig
nation in the ranks of the organization and
Col Eustis himself felt so indignant that he
wrote a letter to the convention saying that
if, as represented in the Press, there was one
delegate present who entertained such ideas
concerning him, he would not be present az
he had intended. Col. Eustis did not come.
The convention proceeded without him.
While as Mr. BufFum says there is allowed
no politics and no sectarianism in the organi-
zation and Col. Eustis acts in politics indie
pendently of it, and although the convention
passed resolution contradicting the state
ments of the Press, there is good reason Il
believe that the work of the re
form clubs has been seriously i'm
paired by the third party movemen
and its inco nsistent position taken on th'
temperance subject. 1t is easily seen tha
while the reform clubs are earnestly and hon
estly working for the advancement Of tenn
perance their efforts are in a measur
thwarted by the political significance give
temperance by the third party. Tn
resolution passed by the convention is to b
con sidered more as an overture of peac
than as an endorsement of Col. Eustis. tn
Reform Clubs we'll know that they cannt
work at all if brought into antagonism wit
other temperance organizations or thos
claiming SO to be. 1t is safe. however,
predict that sooner or later the clubs with .
the strictly temperance organizations in, O

GOV. BODwELL.
Official Statement of His Condition on

( Special 10 kennebec Journal.

Special 10 kennebec Journal
HALLowELL, Dec. 8.
Contrary to the antcpations of many Gov
Bodwell passed Thursday night very quietly
and comfortably for one so sick. He contin-
ued comfortable during the morning At
1870 he was resting quietly without opiates
and his condition on the whole is better than
at any time since his illness.
At about , Z. NJ, Hon. +. Rowell gave
the following report
Gov. Bodwell has rested quietly all day
aud his physicians now say that the case is as
favorable as at any time since the first at
tack
At f. NJ, your reporter saw DIR. Thomp-
son of Augusta, and in response to inquiries,
the Doctor said Gov. Bodwell has had
comparatively comfortable day, has slept
some and has been quite free from pain He
rested and slept considerably during Thurs
day night. He has had but very little fever
and has coughed but very little. His case is
regarded as hopeful as at any time during
his illness"
1t appears that the Journal was in error
regarding the consultation and administration
of opiatcs on Thursday. DR. Thompson so

BLAINE'S CRITICISM
OF President CleVeland'S Message
Creates an Immense Sensation in New
York
New YORK, Dec. 3.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.
The Tribune this morning SAYS:
s'The interview with Mr.. Blaine discuss
ing the Presidents message, which was ca
bled from Paris cansed an immense sensa-
ton through the city, Republicans ev-
erywhere hailed il with enthusiastic delight,
and the free traders seemed to awaken TO
a realization of the full size of the job under
taken. 1t was felt by the protectionists to
be not only direct and powerful blow,
but one delivered just in the nick of time
and by just the right man. The Tribune
was warmly praised for its enterprise in Sc
curing the interview while the interest ex-
cited by the Presidents deliberate avowal of
free trade principles was still lively.
The prospect of 4 national campaign
fought on this square issue was welcomed
everywhere, and the fact that the challenge
ELECTED from the democratic leader, after so
much taunt and effort had been expended to
draw it forth had come at last, and had been
accepted by republicans everywhere and by
their presidential candidate in 1854 in terms
SO plain and unequivocal, was received as an
assurance that the commercial interests of
the country would soon be rescued from the
uncertainty and dread which have so long
hung over them. The crisp, thoughtful,
strong declarations in which Mr.. Blaine as
serted that the war between protection and
free trade was begun in good earnest were
studied and examined as the busy public
rarely studies or examines the views of pub
lie men.
The general public comment was that it
the trumpet sound of a magnificent re-
publican victory in 1885, and many with sug-
sestive quickness hunted up the familiar
Blaine button and appeared down town
it conspicuously in their coats. The
comment that the interview, besides dealing
a brilliant and effective blow at the free trade
doctrine, might properly be regarded as an
ntimation that Mr. Blaine was willing to run
again in campaign that turned upon an act
ual question of party principle was frequently
made, 1t was a comment that never failed
to call forth a chorus of mmendation and
applause.
Upon many democrats, especially among
the politicians, who have Il finger constantly
on the public pulse, the interview had dis
NAL effect. Some said it would compel
Cleveland's retirement candidate and
the choice of a man who could dodge the is
sue. Others who regarded his arrangements
as too well completed for anything to break
them now, directed their comment to the |
doubtful state" question and wondered how |
such conflict would result in New York, /
New Jersey. Connecticut and Indiana. Many
said that Cleveland had played directly into
he republican hands and refused to be COM
forted. Others put their trust in Randall and
in the hope that he would pull
hem through all right. Some declared that
Blaine had done this to compel the mug
sumps to show their hands,
